This took a little longer than expected do to a fairly
nasty bug in the Fedora 10 installation....
The installation process adds both the FQDN and the host name
(i.e. the non-FQDN) to the 127.0.0.1 line in /etc/hosts. This
causes gethostname() on the FQDN to return 127.0.0.1 instead of
DNS IP address... This caused svcgssd to always fail due to
the host name not being found in the key tab.
Unfortunately it took quite a bit to figure out what host name the
kerberos libs were looking since the host name in the key tab was
indeed correct... That lib code is definitely lacking when it comes
to debug-ability... :-(
So buyer bewared... if you recently installed F-10 please check to see
if your /etc/hosts file only contains the non-FQDN host name on the
127.0.0.1 line.
I think that's the default configuration for F10 (and probably earlier
Fedora releases as well). The lack of proper /etc/hosts entries also
wreaks some havoc with sendmail.
Moreover, F10's Anaconda no longer allows you to specify a static IP
configuration at install time -- network configuration is handled
almost entirely via NetworkManager, and any special configuration,
other than "use DHCP for every network interface you can find," is now
done after the system is installed and running.
F10 still includes system-config-network and /etc/init.d/network, but
these are unused/disabled by default. system-config-network doesn't
play well with NetworkManager. There's also no way to specify a fixed
IPv6 address.
While this automatic style of network configuration matches the trend
set by Ubuntu, and probably meets the needs of most desktop users, I
find it pretty inconvenient for servers (which is mostly how I
configure and use Linux these days).
I would like either a restoration of networking configuration during
the installation process, or to have the network management tools work
and have decent help facilities and wizards. Even better if we could
have both.
